Descriptive and regression tables with {gtsummary}

Overview

{gtsummary} has become my preferred way of creating tables of all types. It’s highly customizable and can almost always get the exact output I’m looking for. It’s based of the {gt} package for creating tables, so can be even more customizable. It also includes functions for pulling out numbers from the tables to report in the text.
